Since this week, when opening a large Markdown file, Emacs crashes with segfault. At best, it freezes and does not respond to anything but to killall emacs26 (asking to save desktop).
Thread 1 "emacs26" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000005dbe78 in ?? ()
No backtrace available.
Funny thing is that I actually removed some layers I wasn't using (csharp and some others), to reduce overhead; this problem didn't happen while having those extra layers.
Edit: Just got a reply from Eli Zaretskii (Emacs bug tracking); it doesn't crash for him.
Edit 2: Update: following a hunch, I checked my dotfile hooks.
when I'm using minimap with markdown-mode, I get a SEGFAULT.
Reverted from Emacs 26.1 to Emacs 25.3.2, same thing.
When removing markdown-mode from minimap-major-modes, no more SEGFAULT! :smile:
Therefore, something is going on between minimap and markdown-mode.
